Just when it would come in handy …

I finished the first round of basic changes to Performance Art. I still wonder how empty the englisch speaking wikipedia is. You seem to be the only living being around the article. From the rest of "Performing Wikipedia" the only feedback is silence. I would be extremely pleased, if you have a look over what I've done. I wish you a nice time anyway, without too much electrosmog ;-) --fluss (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Dear Freshacconci Lifebaka On 13:07, 3 February 2011 at the Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellus_Audio_Cassette_Magazine removed the covers of all of the issues of Tellus. I think that this is valuable visual information for archival researchers. Lifebaka left the note:"(decline; might well be notable, suggest AfD; rm gallery)". I am not that experienced with Wikipedia structures and policy, so could you point me at what I could do to re-install or move the images? - or would you do it please?

Bonzinio

You recently blocked this editor - why ? His recent edit for Spondon / Robert Priseman was correct.

Anoraker (talk) 09:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I didn't block him--I'm not an administrator. That account was blocked for being a sockpuppet of R. Pidgeon. The latter account was blocked for 24 hours. Bonzinio/Pidgeon is free to edit using the R. Pidgeon account. freshacconci talktalk 10:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Album-Ornette-Coleman-Ornette.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Album-Ornette-Coleman-Ornette.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Caroline, No

I have just gone to User talk:Domanator to post a warning about edit warring, but I see that you have beaten me to it. However, you too have been involved in the same edit war. I am sure that you don't need to have the policy on edit warring pointed out to you, and you must know that it could lead to a block. I have no knowledge of the subject, and no opinion on which of you is "right", but since the two of you can't agree, perhaps you could look at WP:Dispute resolution in the hope of finding something that may help to resolve matters. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:39, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

No, I realize that my two reverts brings me close to WP:3RR. This is a pretty minor issue but I think that we should be listing less not more cover versions of any song and keep it to sourced descriptions of significant covers. I'll refrain from reverting Domanator again if he re-posts and make my argument further on the talk page. I suspect there may be a sock issue here too but given the triviality of this issue I'll go slow on any of this. Cheers. freshacconci talktalk 15:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, you may have made only two reverts within 24 hours, but over a longer time you have made the same revert five times. Not enough, I think, for a block, but enough that you need to be careful. (For what it's worth, my own view is that far too many popular music articles have far too much trivial content, and very often cover versions are trivia, but I don't know and frankly don't want to know the rights and wrongs in this case.)

Replaceable fair use File:Lisa steele birthday suit.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Lisa steele birthday suit.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 23:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Removal of link as inappropriate link "Remodernist film"

Hello Freshacconci,

I'm just wondering what your reasoning was for reverting the last edit as an "inappropriate link"? I looked through the article that gives guideline on external links and couldn't find something that made sense for it to be removed. Since there are links to other short films in the "list of remodernist films" section, I'm further confused as to why the last one was inappropriate.

Thanks! Arturobandini (talk) 11:52, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Lennon/Reagan

hi - I completely agree with your reversions, removing this specious Reagan story. Not on one account from someone pushing a book indeed, now taken up by conservative websites, and still very doubtful. Would you let me know if this becomes an issue so I can weigh in - I have so many pages on watch that I might miss this and don't want to. Thanks - and nice to meet you - I've certainly seen you around for a long time! Tvoz/talk 16:36, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, this is going to be a fun few days. My edit has already been reverted. I asked that editor to at least discuss his reasons on the talk page. Basically, a disgruntled ex-employee has published some nonsense that should be easily be refuted based on Lennon's own words during the last year of his life, the Playboy interviews for starters. Now Fox et al are jumping on it like this is significant (not to mention the wording is pretty disingenuous--he was not employed by John and Yoko until Lennon's death but was apparently fired). Good to meet you too--seen your name around but I do believe this is the first time we've officially crossed paths. freshacconci talktalk 18:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Zimmerman

The article on John G. Zimmerman does indeed seem a bit promotional, but I know next to nothing about sports or swimsuit photography and therefore am unsure. You refer the reader to a discussion on the talk page. But half an hour later, there's still no discussion. Please do initiate this. (I have no plan to do so.) -- Hoary (talk) 03:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Come on, come on. The article still tells the reader The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved. (July 2011) But there still is no sign of any dispute to be resolved. Again, I don't say that the article is not promotional; I remain sitting on the fence. My rear end is starting to hurt, so if I can't have a proper ringside seat to view your allegations and the replies that they get (and then perhaps to join the discussion), I want to return to my regular chair elsewhere. If there's still no clear allegation in the talk page a day or so from now, I'll delete the warning template. -- Hoary (talk) 02:44, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

John Baird

Regarding my edit to the John Baird article, I did cite a reliable source, i.e. the following: http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/OPEN_SECRET_Conservative_cabinet_minister_John_Baird_outed-8194.aspx , which also refers to a CBC radio interview in with Baird was outed. The sentence I added follows an assinine mention of Baird's pescitarianism. His sexuality is far more pertinent considering the homophobic nature of the Harper regime. Please restore my edit.

Expanding the article on expressionism

Hi,

I saw that you removed an expand template I had put on the article on Expressionism. I'd be curious to hear why. The Spanish article is a featured article, well researched and thorough, and it seems like the English language article could benefit a great deal from a selective translation. Do you object to the request for translation, or the template? Thanks, Sindinero (talk) 20:53, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This page tripped a new page filter I watch and I don't see any substantial claim of notability.

I need your help, please

Hi Freshacconci, sorry to bother you, but I need your help. You have added two templates on the page of the artistic-literary movement IMMAGINE&POESIA, but I am not clear what exactly I have to do. As to references, I can say they are not self published, but the most of them come from two important Italian newspapers: La Stampa and Il Corriere dell'Arte. There has been a Congress in Wales recently (International Poetry Festival) where the progresses of the movement have been shown to the audience (Act of the Congess). However if you think that some of the references are not appropriate, please feel free to remove them. But above all I don't understand what I have to do with the first template (original research): what does it mean ? What kind of references are needed ? I see you are interested in Contemporary Art and I am interested in Contemporary Art too: I hope we can collaborate in the future, if you agree.

Your "Cardiff Giant" Article Edits/Deletions

Greetings,

Please stop vandalizing/deleting the legitimate edits made in this article - you seem to be harassing fellow Wikipedians who are trying to edit the page within Wiki guidelines. The information regarding "The Cardiff1869 Free Art Project" is indeed of true interest to anyone interested in the "Popular Culture" of the Cardiff Giant. The edit posted there about the Cardiff1869 Project is in the proper section of the article as it pertains exactly to CG references in modern popular culture, and it does not link to any web site run by the project/artist, nor does it qualify in any way as COI/spamming/advertising/self promotion. The Cardiff1869 Project is indeed "notable" - please note at least three different third party references supporting the edit from across the country including those from the art world, bloggers, and private citizens who came upon the project on their own (these public and notable references are spread out as far as Brooklyn NY, San Diego CA, Pasadena CA).

Howard Zinn

Hi Freshacconci, Just about the reverts you did to my edits on the Howard Zinn FBI file section. I left a bit on the discussion section about it, but I'll just mention my thinking about it since you reverted it again. It's really that the wording of the sentence as it stands heavily implies that Zinn denied the allegations throughout his life, which does not seem to be the case, and is certainly not implied in the referenced source.

Also, the referenced source draws on an FBI file compiled from numerous sources, informants,etc (whether reliable or not). There is nothing in the wiki section to indicate that Zinn's denial was made to an FBI agent. Obviously enough (in the context of 1950s USA), the fact that Zinn was speaking to FBI agents at the time seems to me an important consideration for the reader to interpret the "facts" presented in the section.

At any rate, if there is a disagreement regarding what the sentence does or does not imply, implicitly or explicitly, my edit is a succinct and short clarification which leaves no doubt in the readers mind, so at worse it is doing no harm. If it makes it clearer, then I don't see why it should be reverted to a more ambiguous wording. I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from, but perhaps there's another reason it should be reverted. Thanks.

Just to let you know, I have left a message on TheScotch's talk page reiterating what I said on the "Eight Miles High" discussion page. There really is no excuse for that kind of name calling. I wish I hadn't been so pleasant on the "Walk Away Renee" talk page now. :-( --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 13:37, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I've dealt with TheScotch for years. Here he's editing as an IP (I was able to figure out that this was him) on the Burt Bacharach article in 2007 with some charming edit summaries. And here he is "agreeing" with the IP's edits (I've always assumed that he and the IP were the same person since they write in the same condescending manner and TheScotch was quick to write the response defending the IP). It's also gratifying that he was quite incorrect in his opinion on the issue. Not that it changed his mind or attitude or anything. freshacconci talktalk 14:20, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh dear...he does seem rather brusque and ill-tempered, doesn't he? I'll probably get a tirade of abuse for daring to admonish him on his own talk page, but hopefully not. Hopefully he'll see that there's no need for name calling. After all, we're all here for the same purpose ultimately. I have to say, I think that some of the points he makes concerning the "Walk Away Renee" article are correct, such as the erroneous use of the word obbligato, but other changes he makes just seem to be change for changes sake to me, and not edits that necessarily improve the syntax or grammar of an article. That's just my opinion though. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 14:34, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Glitch art

Would you care to explain your twinkling? Thx, --Webmgr (talk) 15:19, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

The explanation was in the edit summary. This is some guy's cv and serves no purpose other than as spam. freshacconci talktalk 16:20, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm curious to know why you feel the mention of the GLI.TC/H conference in Chicago (and later in Amsterdam and Birmingham) isn't particularly important (glitch art > history > 22:10, 6 December 2011‎ ). The GLI.TC/H conference has featured the works of over 100 glitch artists over the last two years (with hundreds of people in attendance), has released a book of essays on the subject (published by unsorted books ISBN: 978-4-9905200-1-4) and has been a source online and offline for the sharing of glitch art and ideas and the networking of artists and enthusiasts from all over the world. I find this strange considering you don't have a problem with mentioning the event in Oslo, for which there exists very little documentation. If you were to query glitch artists and enthusiasts on any of the online groups (flickr, vimeo, facebook) I think you'd find very few of them know anything about the small event in Oslo, but the vast majority are aware of GLI.TC/H, and likely even attended or participated in one of the events. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.78.3.131 (talk)

WPA pronunciation?

(Reverted 1 edit by 81.68.255.36 (talk): Sorry, that's an WPA pronounciation; we can't go by your opinion. (TW))

I have never heard of WPA pronunciation, nor does the link you provided clear things up. I know IPA and SAMPA, but not that one. What is it? In any case, the pronunciation uses IPA symbols, therefore giving the wrong pronunciation in its current form. It now says something like 'deh steel', it should be 'duh style' more or less. The difference is obvious. Please clarify. 81.68.255.36 (talk) 22:36, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of artists who have recorded "Jingle Bells"

There's a discussion over on my talkpage about this strange closure. Anything you want to add? Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 23:20, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Notice: Filing Of Complaint To Wikipedia About Your Continual Slander To A Living Person.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST FRESHACCONCI TO THE WIKIPEDIA FOUNDATION.

YOU HAVE CONTINUALLY BROKEN WIKIPEDIA POLICY WITH YOUR NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST RAMON AYALA, A LIVING PERSON.

I Copied & Pasted Some Of Wikipedias Policies Of Biographies Of A Living Person, In Case That You Are Not Aware Of Them.

THE FOLLOWING:

Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives, and the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to BLPs, including any living person mentioned in a BLP even if not the subject of the article, and to material about living persons on other pages.[3] The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia rests with the person who adds or restores material.

How to complain to the Wikimedia FoundationIf you are not satisfied with the response of editors and admins to a concern about biographical material about living persons, you can ask the Foundation's team of volunteers for help. Please e-mail info-en-q@wikimedia.org with a link to the article and details of the problem; for more information on how to complain, see here. See here for how to contact the Wikimedia Foundation.

If you are concerned about the accuracy or appropriateness of biographical material on Wikipedia, report problems at the biographies of living persons noticeboard.

For how to complain to the Wikimedia Foundation, see here and below.Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page.[1] Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to Wikipedia's three core content policies:

We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high quality sources. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.[2] Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.
